I'm thinking of starting my own group. I'm only looking to gauge interest for now. I'll send out instructions for joining later if and when I decide to go ahead with the idea.

The group won't have any monthly or ratio requirements. You won't have to contribute anything, ever. It's just a way for me to reach more people with my GAs.

These are the requirements to apply:

  1. Level 4. SG account at least 6 months old.
  2. Minimum real CV ratio 0.8, preferably > 1.0
    • This is the requirement that I'm most flexible on. I don't mind if your ratio is a bit lower if you exceed the other criteria by a wide margin.
  3. Played at least 20% of your wins. I'll be checking the 'β‰₯25% complete' stat using the "do you even play, bro?" script.
  4. Won fewer than 60 games in the past year.
    • I can allow up to 100 but that's the absolute upper limit and you need to have played a very high percentage of your wins, especially recent ones. Very high = 50% or more
  5. Giveaway activity in the past 6 months. I can make exceptions to this if you've been very generous overall.
    • Your giveaways should be "normal". By that I mean: No overpriced shovelware, hentai, cheap/low quality games, dev/curator stuff, CV exploits, etc.
    • Most of your giveaways should be relatively accessible (Public, invite-only GAs for community events, GAs to groups like U-7, TalePlay, PA, PAGYWOSG, QGG companion)
    • No heavy region restrictions to a single country or small region.
  6. Be polite and respectful.
  7. Must play Psychonauts 1 upon joining the group, but only if your name is xxxka

Please comment below if you're interested. I won't reply to each comment, but I'll make a note of your interest.

Edit 1: Updated requirement #5 from 3 months to 6 months. I don't mind periods of inactivity if the other conditions are met.
Edit 2: Made exception to basic limit of requirement #4 more explicit.

Mandatory GA
SGTools rules are not a reflection of group joining requirements. You may still apply even if you don't pass the SGTools check.

No, sgtools is pretty harsh. It has a less than 600 won check! That's not required to apply :P

I have made a lot of giveaways not free, but because the 5 minimum to count, it has screwed up my ratio. So I'll throw my hat here and let you decide.

Good luck with your group.

Yeah I'm in the same boat with the RCV ratio. I guess we are what some refer to as "circle jerk groups" members lol
I still feel the way RCV ratio works ends up with gifters being unfairly biased against 0CV games. A lot of really great games have been given away for free for a few hours a long time ago and so they disappear from SG because people only make GAs they can get something from.
Feels unfair to games and newbies who didn't get a chance to get them when they were free.

But I get that the point is to get freebie "gifters" who only make free GAs as they get them for free on notice.

I won't even pretend I fit the requirements (my real CV ratio is appalling due to refusing to not make GAs of nice games because they went 0CV and most of my GAs now being for groups that enforce ratio so ending under 5 entries) but I was not going to let the chance go of wishing you luck with the group.
Sounds really cool and people should be playing their wins more. We all have phases for certain genres and more or less time in our real life to play but nothing makes me feel sad like the sight of unplayed wins in my treasure trove of a backlog.

And I second CultofPersonalitea's name for the group.
Also soooo many people on my WL in the thread makes me kinda happy I pick good ones.

I would like to apply, although I am not sure if my ratio would be sufficient. ^_^
I am less active here, more like lurking around. I don't do many giveaways as I buy fewer bundles (only one Choice this year) and if I buy something I try to activate all of it. I try to play my wins as soon as possible, but sometimes I get distracted by other things. xD My BLAEO if interested in my progress. :3

I'm interested. (Kindly, let me know my % play if possible). I'll be playing so many of games this month for PAGYWOSG event. So this may bump up the % significantly towards the end of this month.

I'd be interested in joining if you do decide to go through with it! I meet all of the requirements, except my RCV which is a bit short currently at 0.71.

Since you said you're not too strict with the rules, I'll try. The played wins count above the 25% mark is lower than requested, below the 25% mark I hit it though :)
Everything else I check in!

I think this could be the first group I might join.
I haven't joined any groups since they require things monthly or so and I'm in this platform to have a chill time and not such concerns. The ratio and play % both seem pretty fair to me in that regard, giving away I will do it anyway slowly so I would just be doing it more towards the group.
Sounds good to me :)

I'm in the process of getting the original script fixed by the developer (as he mentioned that he accepts pull requests). A patch has already been applied, so reinstalling might already work (given that the userscript is re-downloaded then). However the version number also needs a bump to make it auto-update.

I'm interested if the group ever becomes a thing! But I feel my playrate for wins will be slightly below the 20% threshold (or just around it, according to my BLAEO tracking) .... either way, throwing my name in the pool :)

EDIT - Ok the script is around 17.3%, so not too far from my own calculations. Below but manageable and I know I can get it over 20%, specially if I stop entering every GA available as I do now hahaha
